you're getting all those hits because somebody who uses the service added your site to their list. they're remotely checking to see if you've updated. blo.gs is a Yahoo! service, so it's not like you're getting attacked, just payed attention to. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a239/ZeroHaven/tinhat.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

anybody besides me having trouble replying to PM's the last few days?<br><br>when i click the "do it" button, some weird stuff comes up at the very top left of the page. a column of plus signs in between quote marks, and boxes that say 'select' and 'check' <br><br>and then if i write a reply in the text box and click to send it, i get a new screen "unknown action"<br><br>this happens even if it's just a couple words, so it isn't that it's timing out. can't figure out why it won't work!<br><br>(so if i owe you a reply and haven't, that's why) <p></p><i></i>

[AnnaLivia]

DAMMIT WHY CAN'T I REPLY TO PM'S?????????????????<br><br>IS THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE????????????????? <p></p><i></i>

[proldic]

I've never even been able to log on to ez-board, to edit, or even know if I have any PM's, not to mention respond to them. <p></p><i></i>

[Rigorous Intuition]

AnnaLivia, I've forwarded your problem to ezboard support. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from them. <p></p><i></i>

[proldic]

wow. okay, it's working. well hello everybody. <p></p><i></i>

[AnnaLivia]

sheesh ain't that my luck. a known opportunity to really drive proldic crazy via a group hug, and i can't participate.<br><br>life is out to get me.<br><br>(thanks, jeff. will let you know when i find i can get replies out.) <p></p><i></i>

[antiaristo]

proldic,<br>I had the same experience.<br>For the first three months I didn't even know to log in at the start.<br>When I logged in for the first time I found that mail icon.<br>There were two messages for me. One was two months old, the other two weeks old.<br>That's what learning is all about.<br><br>Anna,<br>Who's the apple of your eye? <p></p><i></i>

[AnnaLivia]

well, anti, i gotta tell ya there's a guy on TV here calls himself The Video Professor and sells CD's that teach a person a thing a two about how to make a rassin-frassin computer do what you want it to, and right now i gotta say that guy is looking pretty good to me.<br><br>don't worry, sugar. he'll never come between US. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

[Rigorous Intuition]

AnnaLivia, here's ezboard's reply to your problem:<br><br><br><br>Hello.<br><br>Yes, I have seen that before, just a few days ago actually.<br><br>it is caused by a piece of adware that is normally listed under add/remove<br>programs as "Quicklinks Toolbar".<br><br>Uninstalling that should fix the problem. If it does not, please have the<br>member open an accounts ticket as we will need to ask them specific questions<br>about their setup.<br><br><br>Ticket Details<br>=========<br>Ticket ID: VGN-98941<br>Department: Accounts<br>Created On: 19 Oct 2005 08:58 AM<br>Last Update: 19 Oct 2005 08:58 AM<br>Status: Closed<br><br><ticket no="VGN-98941"/> <p></p><i></i>

[AnnaLivia]

hey, jeff, thanks. have not tried to reply to a PM yet because i gotta fly out of here and go pick up my daughter from college right now. (will be happy to see her for the weekend!) but i did find that quicklinks program, and removed it. will try a reply when i get back.<br><br>quickly: bad news: i also noticed a program on my machine called surfsidekick. since i've been getting pop-up ads lately "brought to me by them" ...and i never used to get them ever since we got ad-aware software...i tried to remove it, too. up popped a little window FROM THEM, asking me to enter a code THEY GAVE ME.<br><br>knowing as little as i do about fixing a computer problem, i never click a thing if i don't know exactly what to expect. so i wasn't about to follow their directions.<br><br>went and googled, instead. "what is surf sidekick"<br><br>AH GEEZ!!<br><br>did i say life was out to get me?<br><br>make that the universe, LOL<br><br>more later <br>thanks again, jeff and ezboard<br><br><br><br>and anti, at this point, pumpkin, it's a pretty good thing for you that that video computer guy looks like both my uncle and my old boss. <p></p><i></i>
